Ottawa looks pretty bad. Spezza probably won't be there at the end of the year

How'd the game go today GoIrish?? I didn't get a chance to watch.

I much say that Blue Jacket jersey really fits Carter quite well

Kings absolutely dominated most of the first period. Quick had no action at all for the first 15 minutes of the game. The entire period was in the Ranjuhs end of the ice. I think he lost focus a bit and then let in a really soft goal by Callahan. It was a sharp angle and Quick's body wasn't against the post and it trickled in. The Ranjuhs scored another in the third, but Mike Richards tied the game with about 4minutes left. Jack Johnson won it in overtime.

Lundquvist was playing out of his head. He is a really good goalie. Kings should have won 4-1 or 5-2, but Lundquvist kept his team in it by standing on his head. Henrik was playing in front of his home country and he had a good showing. I was not all that impressed with the Gaborik/Brad Richards line.

Kings didn't play well, but it was a tough game on the road in the midst of a brutal road trip. Ducks got smoked 4-1 so I am a happy man tonight.

Hopefully the Kings can come out strong tomorrow morning against the Sabres in Berlin. I will always take a win especially this early in the season.

I see. It's also easier winning in OT vs an Eastern conference team cause you're not giving a point to a team you could be competing with for a playoff spot.

I hope the Kings beat the Sabres by 10. Lol. I live in Western NY and watching the Sabres lose is beautiful

Yeah, I never mind the 3 point games when we play an Eastern conference team. I guess the Quacks looked awful against the Sabres. I hope we can have a solid game. I heard the Sabres had travel issues from Finland and didn't get in to Berlin until 3am. Hopefully they will be tired.

I hope you guys beat New Jersey today!

Yeah I hate the Devils. So many bad memories against them.

I'm really liking this team after 1 game. And of course it's nice not having to cringe with every shot on net.

Good goaltending can change your whole outlook on your team. I suffered through some awful goaltending years - one not too recently where the Kings went with like 6 different goalies in one season. It was awful. Now we have two bonafide number one goalies and I am loving it!

Bryzgalov looked good for the Flyers the other night. He is a tough goalie and he has always been a King-killer. Not looking forward to seeing him in net next Saturday.

Kings game was frustrating and exciting all at once... like the Pens first game...


did like seeing 4/5 "experts" on NHL network pick the Kings to win the Cup though, that was cool

I'm okay gettin' outta Europe .500. Get back to the States and get ready for the Devils and Flyers. Miller was outta his mind. He is a great goalie. 1-1 on our European vacation.

You guys look good.

Yeah they were a bit sloppy tonight and the Nucks had 5 straight powerplays in the 3rd, but Bryz was good in the 3rd and they got the 2 points.

Also Sean Couturier is gonna be really good. 18 years old and is arguably their best defensive forward.

Hey Ironman8 - Kings up 1-0 in the first! The Gagne/Kopitar/Williams line is really starting to click.

Yeah yeah yeah. Waiting for you to post. I can't decide whether you look great or we are just awful. Maybe both. Marty is keeping this game from being 3-0 or worse.

I can't wait to get out of work and get home to watch this. Sounded like a very entertaining first period. We have to limit shots on goal and take the body a bit more the way it sounds to me.

The Kings can win tonight, but I want the Flyers to win 10-0 on Saturday night. Oh and Richards can take the heat and be a -10 for the game :)

Was very entertaining. Kings absolutely dominated play for the first 8-10 minutes. Leveled off and the Devs played much better and looser after that. The loose pucks the Kings were getting too early on are now all going to the Devils. Our kid Larsson looks good.

I am kind of wondering if Clifford and Simmonds will square off. That could be fun to watch.

I think this game will be very tight because both teams have such similar styles.
